Hidden (Dragonlands #1) by Megg Jensen

Blurb (from Goodreads):

The mystery enshrouding
Hutton’s Bridge is as impenetrable as the fog that descended at its
borders eighty years ago. Each year, three villagers enter the mist
searching for answers. No one ever returns.

Then a dragon falls
from the sky to the town square, dead—the first glimpse of an outside
world that has become nothing more than a fairy tale to Hutton’s Bridge.
Except to Tressa.

Tressa grew up with Granna’s stories of the
days before the fog fell. When Granna dies, leaving Tressa without any
family, Tressa ventures into the fog herself, vowing to unravel the foul
magic holding Hutton’s Bridge captive.

What she discovers beyond the fog endangers the lives of everyone she loves.

I liked that Tressa found friendship in Connor and Bastian, but I wasn’t 100% happy with her relationship with Bastian considering that he was married!The storyline in this just began to drag after a while, and I got bored. There wasn’t anything horribly wrong with the story, it just didn’t interest me and I got bored. I didn’t even really appreciate the romance because I hate cheating.I did like one revelation that we got at the end, but mostly I was just happy to have made it through the book.4.5 out of 10
